Join the Podcast Conversation: Faith, Identity, and Connection

My friend, Sofie Morales (who is also a newlywed – CONGRATULATIONS!!!) agreed to chat with me to share her personal story and insights into the Hispanic/Latino community. Of course, there is no way that one conversation can tackle all the nuances of such a diverse community. However, this one will definitely educate, empower, and encourage you to cultivate an open heart and mind. In our conversation, Sofie shares her story of coming into her Latina identity. She also discusses the role that her has faith has played in embracing and contextualizing her identity as a Hispanic/Latina woman.

This is the first interview and podcast episode for blackandwhiteand Shades of Green <insert hoot and applause here, please> ! I am so happy to have been able to record it with such an amazing person! I invite you to listen to our conversation and lean into celebration and appreciation of our Hispanic/Latino brothers and sisters. In this episode, you will hear Sofie candidly share her thoughts on National Hispanic Heritage month and what it means to her to identify as a Latina woman. Sofie also shares, from a very personal perspective, her thoughts trans-racial adoption in the church. Finally, Sofie graciously discusses her perspective on where the church is “getting it right” with regards to our Hispanic/Latino brothers and sisters and where we are lacking. Sofie speaks with practical wisdom from God’s word on engaging with others.

Sofie is full of life, wisdom, and passion for others. Check out her photo gallery to see pics that capture just a bit of who she is. Listen to her interview, you will love her!
